Some things I liked some I did not.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

No budget turd, unbelievable performances. Only thing good about this film is you can see how bad it is in the first two minutes so you can shut the thing off and stick it in the microwave on high before you die of boredom. Compare this film to a grade school play that your kid isn't in, so you don't have to watch it. The makers of this film ought to be embarrassed. They probably would have made more money by dancing in front of the bus station holding paper cups and calling for spare change. It sure would have been more entertaining to watch. Here is a tip for the makers: Next time you have an idea for a film, watch television instead, preferably reruns of "I Love Lucy". No reason we should be the only ones suffering. Avoid this refuse.

I gave this film 2/10 stars. I couldn't make it to the end, so I thought I should be a bit generous. I suspect that if I had watched the entire film, outrage at being so stupid to waste more of my time would have moved me to give it a lower score.I felt I was watching the results of what somebody would create if they bought the cheapest little camcorder and asked some friends to help him or her make a cheesy pseudo-documentary. It was painfully dull and tedious to watch. I kept waiting for something of substance to happen, but eventually gave up. The only thing gritty about this film is the video quality of most shots.

Strong stuff indeed!!! Innovative, creepy yet also darkly funny - this is a must see movie that defies all attempts to categorise it as just a gangster film. It is so much more, and shows a depth of quality and originality that suggests a bright future for this group of oh so talented film makers.This excellent low budget British film underlines the depth of talent that exists in the UK and deserves to be seen by the widest possible audience. Michael Booth is clearly a man to watch and I look forward to watching his next movie with enthusiasm.

I went to the AMC Cinema in Manchester with my daughter a few weeks ago. The film we saw 'Diary of a Bad Lad' was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere in the cinema was electric. I can honestly say I have never experienced a film as entertaining. There was just about anything you could want from a film. The comedy aspect of it was just first class! We particularly liked, the scenes where they were trying to carry out the dead body of the junkie, because it was extremely funny. We also found the part where the couple who were in debt and had to make an amateur porn video hilarious. We cannot wait to see it again as it kept us entertained from beginning to end.
